SRV query with no domain?

that's how I understand it also. This DNS query is happening before the
SCSCF would issue an ENUM. I believe it would eventually do this but the
purpose of this dns query is to find the SIP entry point (icscf) into a
domain  for the call.

I think this is either a config issue on my end or a bug. The tel uri is
coming in from an ims subscriber who is registered to the domain. I would
think the P-CSCF would use the domain from the caller for the  dns query.

Thanks for verifying that bind is doing the right thing....
